Economy focus of State of Union speech

Posted By: Canadian Press · 2/12/2013 10:52:00 PM

The American economy was the focus of President Barack Obama's State of the Union Speech.

Although Obama said the United States is stronger, he said the American economic revival is unfinished.

Obama called for more spending to fix roads and bridges, and an increase in the minimum wage.

He also called on a divided Congress to compromise in America's interests on ways to boost job creation and strengthen the middle class.

    The BING Pulse Tracker followed Obama's SOTU. American viewers showed he left them cold from start to finish without a positive moment.

    Democrats don't want to cut any spending or entitlements except defence spending so there is no room to negotiate.
